A CAT'S LIFE

A challenge prose poem using ten special words about cats

sill-perched with paws crossed

he radiates authority

 

burning leaves darkening sky beyond 

gentle breeze ruffles regal fur

 

one ear turned to boiling teapot

the other scans unspoken threats

 

I pour my cup of green tea

his head turn shows implicit interest

 

claw’s extend a sure defense

his eyes an endless reprimand

Oh this was sublime my friend! What a cosy and comforting
atmosphere you painted with your words.

"sill-perched with paws crossed
he radiates authority"

Just like my Oscar!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful write. ~ Helena
